Nestled in the peaceful San Rafael Hills of beautiful Pasadena, this completely reimagined 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is a private contemporary retreat with a touch of Spanish flair. Designed for privacy, comfort, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, it offers treetop views from nearly every window—creating a tranquil, treehouse-like ambiance that feels worlds away from the city.
Step into the light-filled living room, where new three-pane picture windows frame lush greenery and mature trees. The fireplace surround features Taj Mahal quartzite and is topped with a custom white oak mantle, adding timeless elegance and natural warmth to the heart of the home. Natural-finish white oak plank floors enhance the sophistication throughout.
The open layout flows into a cook’s kitchen featuring a 36-inch range, hand-glazed tile backsplash, quartzite countertops, and a built-in café nook with storage overlooking the backyard’s Trex deck and yard—strung with ambient lights and perfect for entertaining guests under the stars.
The private primary retreat features a spacious walk-in closet and French doors that open to the backyard, where you can sip your morning coffee surrounded by birdsong and soft, filtered light through the trees. The ensuite bath includes a nature-facing shower window for a spa-like experience. Two additional bedrooms include one with its own ensuite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
A fully outfitted laundry and mudroom offers abundant cabinetry, a folding station, drying rod, and built-in storage—a stylish landing space for daily essentials.
Home has been completely renovated to include: new plumbing throughout, a new roof, 200-amp electrical panel and service, tankless Navien water heater with instant hot, new HVAC system, new rain gutters, and a garage wired for EV charging.
Enjoy a fully redesigned landscape with thoughtfully crafted multi-level outdoor spaces—complete with a new sprinkler system, ideal for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing in your custom outdoor retreat.
